One of the most common problems people come across is how to exchange contact information easily between phones. There’s virtual contact cards, generated 2D barcodes and MMS, but none of these are an elegant and immediate solution. Along comes Bump , a brilliantly intuitive app that allows cross-platform (even between Android and iPhone OS) information exchange including contacts, photos and even installed apps, with just the action of bumping two phones together. Both phones connect to a secure central server which co-ordinates the exchange (which is why a data connection is required), but from there the intelligent algorithm then decides which phones have bumped and handles the rest. This allows for transfer to occur without the need for Bluetooth or e-mail. Once Bump is set up, you specify your own contact details or an existing phone book entry of yours) Relevant information is loaded, including photos if available. You can also send over photos from your gallery, contact cards, or links to applications installed on your phone. This is extremely useful for sending across interesting apps which may not be available on the Market to your friends. If you’re on the receiving end of a Bump, you can select which GMail account to save incoming contacts to. Sensitivity of bump detection can also be tweaked for best results, so if you’re not keen on your phone receiving physical contact, just crank up the sensitivity and give it a quick shake simultaneously. KEY FEATURES Supports seamless sending contacts, photos and Market-links to installed applications Supports Android and iPhone transfers Easy to use with intuitive interface Fairly accurate, adjustable sensitivity Not reliant on Bluetooth or manual e-mail attachments Able to specify which account to save contacts CONS No support for generic files App: Bump Price: Free Website : Bump
